I don't understand. ,
It just goes to the basic TM premise that it is an effortless process. Contrary to how some feel, I personally feel that my TM practice is effortless and that I have no goal while engaged in it. Any meditation that has some thought of what should be happening, such as "clear your mind of thoughts", is bound to thought no matter how subtle the thought. This includes TM if it is done with a goal in mind. Transcending the intellect can occur by accident under many conditions and through many practices but consistency is effective. I think the key word is "work"; "forms of meditation that work at transcending thought by their very nature bind one to thought".
